Mark 4:1-9. Andrew Mihaleff shares an encouraging word on the familiar Parable of the Sower. We are reminded that the power that is in the gospel to change us, also depends on the way we respond to the gospel. Our lives will never be fruitful for Christ until our hearts are softened by the love of Christ. The challenge for us is to continue to bring our lives afresh and to yield to Him every part of us.

Ps Hilary Williams ends a two-part series on our church values. While some aspects of these values are specific to us as a church, all of these are rooted in scripture. Thus these should resonate with all of us as Christians. As we revisit the things that make us who we are as a body of believers, we pray that we might be stirred to both individually and collectively live in a way that reflects our loving Father.

Hebrews 12:1-13. Ps Hilary Williams concludes our Fruitful series by looking at running with perseverance. Hebrews implores us not to give up in pursuing a life that runs after God and continues to bear fruit. The passage reminds us there are distractions and in order to run the race truly, we will only do so when we live looking to Christ.

John 15:1-17. Ps Christian Kahnt continues our Fruitful series returning to our anchor text in John 15. We are reminded that bearing fruit is the only way to live as a Christian. context we may be drawn towards works, but Jesus goes on to clearly point out that fruit comes from God alone. The key to following Christ is not to pursue being fruitful but to remain and abide in Christ the true vine.

James 3:13-4:17. Ps Hilary Williams continues our Vision series by observing there are two ways we could live. According to James, we are faced with questions over the wisdom, attitudes or friendship we might pursue. The apostle makes it clear that one leads to life and the other death. As we remember that our own fruitfulness depends on Christ, the onus on us is to ensure we plant our lives in the ways God would have us live.

Ps Hilary Williams launches our new ministry year looking at John 15. This promise of abiding with Jesus and bearing fruit, is not only still relevant today, but comes with a note of caution. We are not responsible for our own fruitfulness; rather, we bear fruit according to our walk before God. Let us be a people with hearts set on him, so that our fruitfulness brings God honour.

Matt 5:43-48. Ps Hilary Williams shares an encouraging word for Father's Day. We may have different experiences of fatherhood and childhood, all of which can shape who we. The encouragement - and challenge - is that God is pur prefect Father. For all of us, we can know the kind of parent that we might have never had. For parents, leaders, mentors - may we become more like Him as we care for those God has placed in our care.

Ruth 4. Anoj Joseph finishes our Redeemer series by looking at Ruth's cloaing chapter. The story pivots to Boaz and an unknown man - both of whom qualify to redeem Ruth (and by Jewish custom, are really obliged to act). While the unknown man backs out, Boaz faithfully assumes the role of redeemer. The wonderful truth is that through Ruth and Boaz, we are not only led to David but to the ultimate Redeemer of all of us - Jesus Christ himself.

Ruth 3. Ps Hilary Williams continues our Redeemer series looking at this dramatic moment between Ruth and Boaz. While much is implied or ambigious, these two act in faithfulness and integrity througout. In Ruth's faithful example throughout the story, we should be encouraged to act with integrity and kindness, and to trust God where he leads us.
